BROOKLYN, June IS. 1887.

eNpeTimcnt. tt N ihSH-ooaDAo 'o SS pessimisiic in the treatment of every subject which involves equal representa- tion of the sexCs It is very cheering however for mothers whose sons are Rp- proRching manhood, hnd wives with heads as well hs hearts, to know that way back of all criticism, all nsrrovness and precedent, some potent influence is at work to make the social life ot our nation more pure and mors refined. The fashionable club house has been ss great CD harrassment tO wives aud mo- thers as the liquor -slOcD. IT man cones from his club just as drnnk ss his neighbor who has returned from the grog shop. It Is not much oia comfort 10 number one 10 know tbat A5r husband is arisiocratically boozy. h fact she doesn't feel much better than the wife of the other fellow, The phenomenal success Of Heary Georges Anti Poverty Society, IS wholly due to the social char Gcier of the ward meetings. At these places men and and their wives and children meet and discuss vital ques- tions, siug, read, rscite. and go home tc- getber. This man Is making hosts of converts to what seems to De q very H. logical dCctri e. b. his fine tact n man aging the family. Women have suffered so much in the past that they are ready to be kind to any theory, it by so doing they cEn promote the interests of home.
 The ine-lOcating "meium" IS in high dudgeou about a report ID some paper which Ee alleges has ceet dlscredit upur his enterpris'. When questioned about the spiritual modns operandi, he replied that he simply made himself passive. and then moved according to orders. In corrobOrAtiOn of ms slccess i5 shown a diamond badge which had been given him by @ company for whom he had per formed special service. In speaking of the inception and growth of different mining enterprises. inc medium deciar- ed it to be his firmly rooted opinion that bsnd of unusually strong spirits had helped to perftc.

De cause the spirits desired me 10 see ;he height and depth Of the enterprise ana estimate the value oi the tsilIngs." This strange individual also deciarUs that the late Charles D. Keep was one of the finest mediums that the world ever saw, though he himself was quite unconscious of the extent ot bis own powers. This was most interesting to me and So | give u 10 my readers, though l confess T. to be very large pill, which l haven't swallowed yet. But there was the dia- mond badge confronting me, and the letter of the donors. What does 1t all mean?
 The captain of the EtTur.s says that Mir. Coruehus Vanderbilt brought the steamer more luck on its last trip ] across thaa could have been produced from a million horse-shoes. There vas scarcely suy sea sickness, and nothing but pleasant weather. By the wsy one of the lady passengers who had a horse shoe Bt she head Cf her oIrta and sn other at the foot. gave some leEsons to the passengers 10 tte cOrrec. way Oi placing these emb!ems of gcod fortune.

Vanderbili's cottage, "TLe Breakers," at Newport. Is Gl ready for his reception. It IS fair 10 presume that the pretty horse shoe 20 tBs;efully decorated for this gentleman will occupy plGce over the mGIn entrance of hIs villa.
 Speaking fl decorations reminds me of very pretty device, and something quite new 10 shape of newspaper rGck, which will be found particularly ser yiceable m summer cottages or hotel rooms. 4 thin board about twelve inches lOpg and ten wide is used, which must be pTeitily stained or painted. | Fasten a piece of ribbon across each and leaving 1t B little slack. Then cross tSo more pieces diagonRlly, and leave one long piece at the upper c0rn-rs for 6 loop to hang It up by. Fancy tscks or | pretty bowG may be used for fasteuiBgs. The straps are something embroidered. | but If made of silk, lusrrous ribbon like the Fair and Square, which now super cedes al other other ribbons on account of its finish and durability. they will be | quite elegant enough without other | adornment.
 The taste of Lot weather we have lately had, bas made us all desirous of entering upon our summer vacation. To those equslly divided between love of the ocean and green fields, and wooded hills and valleys, there ls no place the world more satisfactory than the coast of New England. Everybody has heard ot Ipswich Bay and AnnisQuEm, and other lovely spots ID the ueiehborhood of Cape Ann. These hsTe been the Ia vorits resorts of Boslonians for years. 4 few minutes drive trom Gloucester brings the tired travel to a very haven | ot lest. This is q para of some 20O acres of upland. filed with noble old trees. and commanding the lovel;sst possible views. This paradise has re- gently been bought by a company of wiie-Ewake and progressive gentlemen who have already lad out two miles of carriage road, and arc determined to make this spOt tle most elegant Lad comfortable place on the coast. It would be difficult indeed to find a healthier or more beautiful ste for summer cot fage. The picturesque blending plns

 Yachting gOwrs are made Of white and blue serge, and sometimes combi- nation of both. Some Of these garments are constructed most tancifully. They have silk surplus waists, decorated with silver braid, and silver anchors. Others have anchors embroidered on blouse waists m any color that suits the taste. There is only one point in connection with yachting dresses on which fashion authorities agree. They must be short. This Is also true of riding habits. There was su attemp: the first of the season to reserrect the old fashioned and most dangerous long skiri, but one of our most fashionable young ladies, who | happened to be sensible as well. refused i to adopt it. snd sli Fifth Ave. declined. l have just seen a very pretty and simple beach suit for middle aged lady.
